and witch hazel for cleansing an oily skin I think that this will suit my skin exactly ly and andI nd I am going to try it it but would like Ike to know if the witch hazel lotion you mentioned is just plain witch hazel or is there something else else mixed with it and if so would like to know what it is is I would be so happy if I could get a good lotion that woul would k keep ep my skin soft without making It oll oily Thanking you HOPING The witch hazel lotion is a combination combination com com- or of witch h hazel and a healIng healing heal heal- Ing cream and you will find at least leasta a dozen different kinds at any drug counter Just ask for a good lotion that contains witch hazel and yoU can get It In a small enough bottle that you can afford aCford to do a little experimenting Have you ever tried You might like that as it Is refreshing and easily absorbed by the skin and does not make It oily The witch wilen hazel in a lotion or used with the almond meal Is chiefly good as a mild and refreshing astringent that thatIs Is a liquid which tones up the skin and tightens the pores so that the texture remains grained fine and soft and blackheads ds are kept out
